Central Chev in London Ont. sold a one. Originally sold it to a woman who traded in her COPO Chevelle to buy it. Car is suppose to be alive and well. Last I heard, it was out west. Not sure of any others.

I'll check on that, I know it has paperwork and was at the L88 'Quake in '88' in IL.

Beare Motors, in Port Perry, Ontario sold a blue L88 Corvette in '69. It was sold to someone in the US several years ago. Beare Motors is long gone.

There must have been a few L-88 vettes sold in Montreal/Quebec between 1967 and 1969? eh Roger? Imagine the fluke of finding one in some remote farming area and the farmer has got no idea it's an L-88 and he wants a lot of money for it like at least $15-$20,000.00 ooh!

I worked with a guy who's brother bought a 67 BB years ago, still has it. Yup, turned out to be a L88 car. He's up in Canada, don't know where the car originally is from, I believe Canada.

The white M40 L88 coupe from Canada belongs to Frank Stech in NJ. He is the judging chairman for the Delaware Valley NCRS chapter. Not a nicer guy in this world.
